The Butts, Brentford

The view is roughly north-east, towards the main road known as Half Acre. To me this seems a most unusual urban space - a residential side-street as wide as some squares in London's old inner boroughs. At its western end there are a number of Georgian houses. Much of the south side (on the right in this picture) is occupied by a convent - which incorporates a Georgian property. On the north side most of the development looks Victorian, perhaps 1870's. Behind the camera the Butts ends in a wider open space - again surrounded by houses, but too irregular and informal to be called a square. A passageway gives access to the Market Place.
